Lakhimpur Kheri: Rahul Gandhi goes for union minister's head after SIT report

Armed with the UP Police report that called the Lakhimpur farmers killing a "pre-planned conspiracy", Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has demanded the sacking of union minister Ajay Mishra Teni.

The Congress MP on Wednesday gave notice for a discussion on the report in Parliament. The police report has also sought new charges against the minister's son, who is a prime accused in the case where 4 farmers were mowed down by a car belonging to the minister.

"The government should immediately sack the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Ajay Kumar Mishra, and ensure justice is delivered to the families of the victims," Rahul has stated in his notice.

The opposition has also stepped up demands for removal of Ajay Mishra, who remains a Union Minister despite the allegations against his son, who was jailed in October.
